1937 Gibson L7 Archtop Guitar
Рет қаралды 507
A beautiful Gibson L7 from 1937 came into the shop for repair, so I thought it would make a nice series of videos. I will show the work that was done on it, as well as run a quick "tour" of the instrument. In this video, I first review some of the external features of this old guitar. Next, we repair the area where the back separated from the side. Finally, I use a fiberoptic scope to look around inside the body and to show the fairly unique bracing pattern of these first generation L7s.

Thanks for sharing this, I like to see these old instruments. Whoever did the refinish made a good decision to show the grain on the back, it's wonderful.

I had a late 20's small body L7 that had the Nick Lucas inlays, no picture frame around the inlays. The '52 L7C cutaway I had had the split trapazoid inlays. That 37 is a beauty

My 1934 L-10 uses the same inlays in a picture frame style as well.

Nice! I've seen it on one of Gibsons mandolin models from the 30s, also.
